Trans ban

When are Republican senators going to stand up to this bully?

President Trump not only tried to bully Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and others who do not adhere to his way, but now he also attacks the transgender community courageously serving in the military.

According to the CBO, and the Department of Defense’s own study, military medical expenditure — including transgender — is $8.4 million a year.

Meanwhile, a single trip to President Trump’s own private golf course, Mar-a-Lago, is $3.6 million.

There are many important municipal elections scheduled this year throughout Miami-Dade County. The impact of those elections on local residents spans across many issues, like personal safety and security, taxation, and neighborhood recareation programs.

Because these issues often affect the quality of residential life and the delivery of municipal public services, residents should take more than passing interest in who their candidates are and what they stand for. It is most important for all of us to become informed and vote.
